dedicated to simplifying my consumption and accumulation of stuff (especially clothes), one step at a time, starting today 6-1-11 for one year. Ok, 2 years. Well, now we're going into Y3. Make that 4. - so who's counting anyway?

The 50,000 that were expected soon grew 3x that and the march part was cancelled. Apparently no one told the participants, or, they didn't care. People started leaving the park and took to the streets and the original march route.

~ spilling across Michigan Ave. and down Jackson Blvd.~

~ only the L was moving, the buses and cars were stopped in their tracks ~

Being that I'm so Visible and Fashionably dressed, I'm heading on over to join Patti and the Visibles at Not Dead Yet Style and Catherine's I Will Wear What I Want, dagnabit, when they go live. Oh, oh, I have a hat on so I'm off to join Judith and her Hat Attack! Hope to see all of you there!

Hi Lisa, Yeah, I'm still here doing my thing. I've heard the Schiaparelli reference, but haven't seen the original. I know, the goddess was with us here in Chicago Saturday. The weather was wonderful for just that day.So do you have a blog so I can see your current obsession of clothing?

Thank you for the link. I had heard about the Washington march but not about the one in my own city! I had not heard about the hats. I am going to make one because this movement won't go away. I care about the right to safety and freedom of choice and equal educational opportunities for women.

Virtual high five, Carol S. What a surprise about the WH comment line. Not.One can only image what his twittering will be about this march. His first press conference after the inauguration announced he had more people in the Mall than Obama did! Have you see the pix? Chicago had more people attend the Women's March than attend his thing. That's the beginning of the official WH fake news.Hey, what's you blog address, if I haven't asked before?

The power of women coming together all across the country for the Women’s March was simply amazing! Your hat is a great statement piece, plus it looks soft and cozy! Thank you for sharing with Hat Attack!
